More About the Medical School
NEOMED offers multiple pathways for admission to its MD program. The Early Assurance Program allows undergraduate students from affiliated universities to reserve their place in medical school early, while the Post-Baccalaureate Early Assurance Plan is available for students who have already completed a bachelor’s degree and wish to strengthen their academic preparation. In addition, NEOMED offers traditional early decision and regular decision options for those applying at the end of or after their undergraduate education.
Applicants must complete their prerequisites, submit an application through AMCAS, and take the MCAT. A bachelor’s degree with required coursework in biology, chemistry, and physics is expected, alongside evidence of community involvement, leadership, and healthcare experiences.
NEOMED values a holistic approach to selecting students who are not only academically qualified but also demonstrate a commitment to improving healthcare outcomes. The university also encourages applications from individuals interested in serving the northeast Ohio community, aligning with its mission to train physicians for regional healthcare needs.
